V8 Brake Caliper Torques?

Hi all,
Just getting round to potentially doing my discs and pads since LR amazingly reckoned they were ok during the service and first MOT.

Anyone have the tightening torques for the brake caliper to hub bolts?

A table of torque setting would be useful for this vehicle, seems there’s not much info around! Current Garage...

Thanks, this looks like a useful guide, however I’d rather the LR specified torque from a manual.
For example the caliper bolts on the Disco 4 were 275Nm due to their material (12.9?) and fine thread - there’s no mention of material grade on this guide. The torques stated here look like generic values for low grade (8.

material as per the bolt size, thread pitch.
As it’s the brakes, I’d rather not get it wrong! Current Garage...
